I used to think everyone was as obsessed with chocolate as I was. Cake, brownies, Smarties milk chocolate bars, my goodness. But sadly, people’s cravings are all different. My mum, while pregnant, used to stick her finger into the cornflour and lick it. The types of cravings pregnant women get are next level. But what […]

My favourite books of 2023
Albeit a little late, I thought I’d share my favourite books of 2023. This was probably the year that I enjoyed reading the most. I read 10 books in total – which is, surprisingly, my new record. Although I should be embarrassed of the incredibly low number, it’s about time I accepted that I will […]
The right way to layer your skincare products
When you spend as much time on your skincare routine as I do, you need to make sure you’re actually doing it right. Otherwise, you may as well put that time to other good uses. Like researching vineyards to work on in Tuscany. If you follow an extensive Korean skincare routine and have more products […]
The truth about intermittent fasting for women
A few years ago, when I was studying Kinesiology in Melbourne, my teacher told the class that we should all try intermittent fasting. Like with most things people tell me, I followed his advice blindly. That was until my friend came in one day and shared with the women of the class that fasting may […]
Sentimentality
I’ve always had a tendency to romanticise aspects of life. I’ve been called airy-fairy, told that I live my life in the clouds, and that I’m naive. I mean, they’re not wrong. I’m constantly listening to music through my headphones so I can feel like I’m a character in a movie. I’m naturally drawn to […]
My skincare journey – an update
Last year I made a post called my skincare journey. Since that post, my skin has improved and I wanted to share a skincare journey update. There are a few things that I have done / incorporated into my routine that (I think) have made a difference. Firstly, from August, I stopped cleansing my face […]
Is caffeine withdrawal really causing your headaches?
Like most other women, I have a keen set of investigative skills. But mine relate less to stalking my best friend’s ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend, and more to my body and its optimal functioning. I’ve never been a huge coffee drinker – I have an unexplained immunity to the energy-boosting effects of caffeine. Because of […]
How to know what you need in a relationship
In an attempt to transform my relationship expertise this year (which may or may not be in preparation for a potential reunion with the boy who ruined my life), I’ve been listening to a few podcasts. A recent favourite was an episode by Shan Riley, who hosts Wholehearted. I’ll link the episode here. She talks […]
One curly hair product you should not leave out of your routine
Similar to my skin, figuring out what works best for my hair has been a journey and a half. I spent most of my youth frustrated with my frizzy, unruly locks that could not be tamed. After almost four years of wearing my hair naturally, switching up my routine, and trialling product after product, I […]
My experience coming off the pill
I have heard so many horror stories from my friends about coming off the pill after 5+ years. Most girls my age were fed the nonsense that taking oral contraceptives would help straighten out heavy periods, acne, etc. The same girls then reach their mid twenties and realise that their bodies shouldn’t be pumped full […]
